Specification of Letters Patent.

Patenten Mai. 17,1914.

` To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, AUGUST M. KRUSE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Deance, inthe county of Deance and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Receptacles,A

of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in metallic receptacles, and more articularly to the construction of metallic other substances requiring fluid or liquidtight receptacles.- y I The invention relates more particularly to the form or method of constructing the meeting edges of the head and-body portions of the barrel or vessel-"at the chime portion thereof wherebyto for'm a liquidtight barrel or package, the parts being reinforced and particularly designed and adapted to modern welding processes.

A further object is to provide improved reinforced chime welding rims presenting advantageously disposed welding edges for modern methods of melding such as autogenous and other welding processes, said welding edges being adapted to'coperate with the reinforcing element in giving great strength and rigidity to the head an'd chime portions of the barrel.

With the above mentioned and other objects in View, the invention consists-in the novel construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, hereinafter described, illus-f trated in some of its embodiments in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1,;is a side elevation of a barrel constructed in accordance with my invention, a portion of its walls being broken away for the purpose of clearer illustration of the parts. Fig. 2, a plan view -of the head end of the barrel, illustrating a method of initially holding or securing the improved reinforced head and rim preparatory to being subjected to and united by the welding process. Fig. 3, a `sectional view of the rim or chime portion of the improved barrel before being welded. Fig. 4, a similar view, the dotted lines illustratin the manner in which the welding is distri uted to unite the exposed edges of the head and chime welding rims. Fig. 5, a similar view of the complete welded chime.

arrels and similar' vessels designed to carry liquids and 0 Similar numerals of reference designate like parts throughout all the figures of the drawings. i

The. improved metallic receptacle, when made in the form of a barrel comprises a cylindrical shaped main body portion or' barrel bodyl, preferably provided with a pair o f tread rings or members 2, arranged on either side of the longitudinal center of the vessel and designed to afford a bearing surface for rolling the same while in transportation or storage. The tread rings are' preferably of I-shape in cross section l,and are preferably secured in place Vafter being slipped over the barrel" body by rolling outwardly extending corrugations or headings 3, on either side of the base of the tread rings whereby the latter are securely held as against longitudinal movement on the barrel body.

The barrel body is provided at its ends with chime welding rims 4, preferably slightly off-set to provide head supporting shoulders 4, as shown.

The heads 5, are each provided with out- Kwardly extending rims 6, within the ends of the barrel body, said heads resting on the shoulders 4a, and said outwardly extending rims being seated within the chime welding rims and having their outer marginal edges disposed in close proximity to the outer marginal or welding edges 4b, of the chime rims for convenient welding as hereinafter dcscribed.

As a means for securely reinforcing the head and .chime or rim portions of the barrel, and particularly for the purpose of reinforcing the heads 5, to prevent the bilgng of the latter from the weight of the contents of the barrel, reinforcing rings 7, are carried within the outwardly extending rims 6, said reinforcin rings being preferably of half-oval sape and abutting against the heads 5, of the barrel. The outer edges of the head rims 6, are preferably provided with inwardly extending fianged or hooked portions 6, adapted to take over the outer edges of the half-oval reinforcing rings and presenting an advantageous Welding edge or surface for the welding 8, as illustrated most clearly in Figs. 1, and v5, of the drawings.

The reinforcing heads 5, are preferably initially held or secured within the chime welding rims 4, by bending the welding edges 4", inwardly to form retaining crimps a toengage the Hanged portion 6a, 'as

shown most clearly in Fig. 2, of the drawf clearly in Fig. 5,- of the drawings.

The arrangement and disposition of the edges of the rims 4, and 6, together with the subjacent acutely tapered outer edge of-the half-oval reinforcing ring provides an exceedingly economical and convenient welding point for welding as in autogenous welding, or other modern welding processes.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood. v

.Having thus described some of the embodiments of my-invention, what l claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,-

l. A barrel, comprising a body, hea-ds provided vwith outwardly extending rims mounted within and terminating in welding proximity tothe ends of said body, halfoval rings abutting against said heads and having their flat portions abutting against and seated within said rims, land a welding` uniting the edges of said body to said rims and the outer edges of said rings. r 2. A barrel, comprising a cylindrical body provided with head-supporting chime-weldingrims, heads provided with flanged rims seated and terminating within said chimewelding rims, reinforcing rings'carried Within said flanged rims and presenting relatively thin acutely tapered welding edges in z close proximity to the edges of the latter, and a welding uniting said chime-welding rims to said flanged rims and tapered welding edges. 3. A barrel, comprising a body 'provided `witlnchirne rimsprovided with head sup` porting shoulders and chime-rim;` welding edges, rimmed heads resting on said shoulders and within said chime-rims, reinforcing rings carried within said rimmed heads and presenting relatively thin .acutely ta- Ypered welding edges in welding proximity to said first named welding edges, and lan autogenous welding extending about and uniting the outer edges of said chime and head rims to said welding edges of said reinforcing rings.

4:. ln a metallic receptacle, a body provided with a shouldered chime-welding rim, a head resting on said shouldered portion madera and providedvwith a rim terminating in a hooked flange, the base of the latter being slightly inset but in welding proximity to said chimewvelding rims, a half-ovalrein--" having its flat side abutting 4proximity to said chime rim Welding edges,

half-'ovalJ reinforcing rings carried and exposed within said rimmed heads and hav ing their outer edges acutely tapered and engaged 'by said short hooked portions, and a welding .agent extending about and uniting the outer edges of saidchime rim and the terminating portions of said hooked por! tions of said head rims.

6. In a metallic receptacle, a cylindrical shaped main body portion, a head having an outwardly extending rim seated within the end of said main body portion, 'a halfoval ring having one edge resting against said headl andhavingits flat portion seated within said rim, said rim having a short hooked portion extending o verthe outer or opposite edge of said ring and slightly in- 'set from the end of said main body portion,

and a uniting agent uniting the end'of said main body portion tothe shorthooked porhalf-oval ring carried by each of said rammed heads, one edge resting against said' heads and the opposite edge lengaged by said hooked flanges, and a metallic uniting agent uniting said hooked flanges and said --chime welding rims.
